Financial Conduct Authority Overview (UK)
Train your employees on the role of the FCA, how it regulates financial markets, and its enforcement powers.
Course overview
The Financial Conduct Authority – or FCA for short – is the UK’s financial regulator. They’re the ones who protect people from bad conduct in finance. They set the rules, make sure companies follow them, and keep the finance industry fair. They do all this while also making sure there’s still competition between businesses and that the economy keeps growing.
To do their job, they need to wear a few different hats. At times, they’re setting standards that companies must follow. At other times, they’re enforcing the laws – issuing fines and bringing criminals to justice. But what exactly do they do? And which companies need to follow their rules?
